I recently got shrooms (Jedi Mindfuck) for the first time only to learn they were on the low end of potency. I tried one with almost no noticeable effects. A friend told me to try more than one and to blend it and at it to a peanut butter sandwich. So I did 4 shrooms. I’ll let you guys know later how it went.
Ngl at first glance I thought this was a cigarette ash sandwich
Let us know.
They may be a bit old and /or not preserved properly. They lose potency with time. Ideally try to consume them within a year from harvesting.
Last time when I was trying and it was getting intense, I was on the verge of getting the fears that some nasty hallucinations were coming my way when all of s sudden I thought: I guess it would be alright, because everything is.
As soon as I had thought it I was overwhelmed by those banal words and tapped in to their inner meaning and my fear was gone, no matter what would be coming my way it would be what it is and nothing else, trying to resist or fear it would not change anything for the better.
Those words stuck with me and even though it’s hard to apply it on ordinary life it has helped me a bunch. So whatever comes your way, it’s just what it is and it is what you are experiencing. No more and no less, you’re going to have to deal with it so don’t resist it.
Weigh out a dosage, 3 grams is a standard dose, if you’re at work you’d probably want to go lower, for a big night you could go a little higher.
Have fun, go with the flow, embrace the journey
You should be weighing them, not basing it on the number of mushrooms
I like to steep mine into a tea! Always got the effects as intended like that. Have fun and stay safe my dear!
you can soak them in lemon juice (or any similar acid, really) to create a faster and harder come-up (it converts psilocybin into psilocin, which is what your stomach acid is doing anyway); if it’s really low potency this help combine enough of a dose to punch you past “threshold”
This is my favorite thing to listen to and watch whilst tripping balls
Something I forgot to mention is that I’m at work. Its pretty relaxed and chill place though. This trans gal is feeling pretty good right now.
So how did it go
It went great.
Nice, I got worried when you said you were at work lol
Well, when you come back and read this I hope you had a good trip, since by now (2 hours later) you should be feeling it.
personal story
I don’t do shroom since my only 3 trips were bad despite trying to get proper set/setting. I made the mistake of being on my phone and reading normal posts instead of focusing on like cute animals or literally anything intentionally positive… So after first trip, I decided my phone would be locked in my bag and turned off for future trips.
My last trip was a downward spiral of feeling bad that our wedding wasn’t great since we couldn’t afford much and it was mid-covid so roughly 80% of people didn’t show up, and of those that did, most didn’t stay beyond the ceremony.
I decided after 3 bad trips, I’m just okay with not trying again.
Hope you have a great ride! If you see the Sky Snake, tell her I said hi.
You need at least 2 and a half grams to have halucinations. 3 is usually where I go
You need at least 2 and a half grams to have halucinations.
I don’t think this is categorically true. Not only is everyone different, but potency can also vary.
I haven’t done psychedelics in many years, but I definitely took between 1-2 grams in the past and def tripped (albeit not as intense).
Yeah I should have beenkore specific. Most people I talk to fall into that range (2.5-3) with golden teachers for a full trip but everyone is different and some shrooms are too.
The only shrooms I’ve ever seen actually stronger than your staple golden teacher, blue meanie, or liberty cap is a penis envy which is about 50% stronger. 2g acts like 3g for me
One of my friends had steady access to penis envy mushrooms when I was in my freshman year of college. I remember taking them with another friend of mine and had the weirdest goddamn trip of my life. I took about 1.5g, and he took 3g.
We were walking in the woods when we came up, and he fell completely silent for like 3 hours. I tried asking him if he wanted to go back to the dorm several times, but he would just look at me for a minute, then go back to staring at the ground and continue walking.
Eventually, it got dark and I turned on my flashlight (thank God I decided to bring one). As it got darker, his walk got more and more frantic. I thought he was trying to run away from me, like maybe he was mad that I gave him the mushrooms. If we weren’t in the woods in the dark, I would have tried giving him a little space, but I didn’t want him to wander out too far without a source of light. So I slowed my pace and walked behind him, giving him the same buffer I would give a stranger walking behind me on the sidewalk.
After a while of giving him his space, he stopped dead in his tracks and turned to me. I came up beside him and asked if he was feeling alright, but he was silent still. I decided that if he was mad at me for the mushrooms, I could fix it by dumping the rest on the ground. So I did exactly that, all while he was watching silently. As soon as they were on the ground, he started walking again, but this time much slower. I followed behind.
While walking, I was swinging my arms slightly. Since my friend was a bit in front of me, the light from the flashlight was moving around a lot more for him than it was for me. This must have been messing with him, because he stopped walking, grabbed my arm, and finally broke his silence with a stern, “stop”. I was mostly just relieved he said something.
“All good?”, I asked. He looked at the ground, then back at me, then back at the ground, then back at me. He looked super confused, so I asked again, “Hey man, are you all good?”
“Yeah, yeah…” he said, looking at the ground. He looked up again and asked, “Hey, man… why did you dump out the mushrooms???”
When I explained my thought process behind everything, he laughed really hard. He had no clue he wasn’t communicating with me that whole time. He said he was walking fast so he could get back to the dorm before it got dark. When he stopped, it was because he realized it was already dark and I wasn’t next to him anymore and my flashlight was the light source. Then when he saw me dump out the mushrooms, he thought I was laying out bait for an animal. He figured I thought we had walked for so long that we were fully in the wilderness and needed to hunt to survive. He knew we were near(ish) the dorms, so he kept going. When he remembered that I didn’t leave the dorms with hunting/camping stuff, he realized they were the mushrooms and stopped to ask me why I dumped them lol.
Weird time.
accurate, this is a common mistake 😅
I was always told you need to eat a bunch because they tend to have a random amount of psylocibin, so a lot of the shrooms you eat will have not much, while others will have a lot. Kinda just need to eat a few see how you’re feeling, then have a few more if you’re not feeling anything and repeat til shit starts moving forward. Having good company that you can talk about how you’re feeling with is pretty helpful.
That advice is bad advice given to people who pick their own and have a bunch of mowers mushrooms mixed in. Back when it was legal to buy fresh in the UK, I had very consistent results.
The ones you get in Aus are typically picked fresh …
The reason for people saying that is individual ones are different sizes and the concentration does vary a little bit but less than the size variation. Grinding them into powder and making weighted potions achieves a lot more control over your dose and if you are getting into tracking how much you take this is very helpful. Never stopped me munching them dry outta bag on occasion though.
Best of luck.
Oh heck ya! Always remember that the “bad” trips are the most healing if you focus on opening up to its connection with yourself.
Can confirm. My last 3-4 trips or so all have been challenging in some way (not thoroughly bad) and I feel like they’ve changed me as much, if not more, than the 10 trips before that
During my bad trip I just thought I shit and pissed all over myself and tried to sleep on the kitchen floor since it would be easier to clean than the sofa.
